Clarence Crane was a chocolate maker and chocolate was hard to sell in the summer months so he decided to try to make a mint to boost his summertime sales. In 1912 he sold "Crane's Peppermint Life Savers" In 1913 he sold the rights to his candy to Edward Noble for 2,900.00. The reason he put the hole in the center was life preservers were just starting to be used on ships to toss to passengers who had fallen overboard. Crane also saw a pill making machine at a druggist that was operated by hand and made round flat pills. Putting together "life preservers" with the pill making machine adding the hole made his mints "life preservers". By 2004 the candy was owned by Kraft Foods and made into many flavors.
